Watch me make this pencil disappear - ging-grr

When first I heard that Heath Ledger had been cast as the Joker, I was wary. Sure he appeared to have talet, but I wasn't sure that he could play the psychotic Joker as I wanted him to be played. Then a few shots came out and I thought well he does look the part, but nothing could have prepared me for the sheer perfection of his performance. He took the more ...

BRILLIANT! - ThatGirlxXxX

The Dark Knight is one of my favourite movies, it is brilliant! I loved Batman Begins but The Dark Knight is even better! I cannot wait to see The Dark Knight Rises although it won't b the same without Heath Ledger as The Joker! Christopher Nolan is an outstanding film director and I recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it! It's a must see!! more ...

Knock out performance as joker - shelly87

The movie is all most two and half hours of knock out action. Its an amazing piece of filmmaking that rockets the batman legacy to heights never imagined. Fueled by Heath Ledgers re-invention as the joker. There still aren't enough hours in the day to gush about hes knock out performance as the joker. A must see R.I.P Heath more ...


The Dark Knight rating: 3 Star
Not a bad film at all - Crazy

The plot involves the Joker's attempts to humiliate the forces for good and expose Batman' secret identity, showing him to be a poser and a fraud. Batman poses a more complex puzzle than usual: The citizens of Gotham City are in an uproar, calling him a vigilante and blaming him for the deaths of policemen and others. And the Joker is more than a villain. more ...


The Dark Knight rating: 5 Star
AMAZING - Patrick

This is an unbelieveable film that sets a point for other(particularly comic adaptions) to reach. Great story, good effects and dazzling performances(particularly by the late Ledger) which will go down as an iconic performance. A must see more ...

Unique - Patrick Miller

Sure the summary could be more interesting but to be honest I've been trying to actually get down to writing a review for this since it came out. I've been banging my head against a wall with the "comparison" idea because I had been trying to find a comparison for this movie. The fact is there isn't any. It is a unique movie, which is rare. To more ...

Action Film of the decade. - gapmunky

Dark as night and nearly as long, Christopher Nolan's new Batman movie feels like a beginning and something of an end. Pitched at the divide between art and industry, poetry and entertainment, it goes darker and deeper than any Hollywood movie of its comic-book kind — including “Batman Begins,” Mr. Nolan's 2005 pleasurably moody more ...


The Dark Knight rating: 5 Star
Excellent - me

I am not your usual Batman fan but after reading many excellent reviews I had to go see it, and I was not disappointed. This film is very dark, violent, creepy, with slight humour, fantastic acting and an even more fantastic story line, it really changed all my presumptions on Batman. Heath Ledger is such a talented actor, he portrayed the joker amazingly - more ...

Absolutely Brilliant - Warr W62

Unblievable! - hellcat1983

This is The Lord Of The Rings of 2008, only much much darker, better acted and better written. This is no doubt every bit as good as you've heard. Christian Bale reprises his role as the hoarse masked vigilante trying to bring peace to the citizens of Gotham City, which is over run by the mob and various villains. The film is very quick paced and it's also more ...

Why only 4 stars? - Locky

This is the greatest film ever made, if not one of them. the joker is unbelievable. I was sceptic at the start as I though everyone was saying it was great because of heath ledgers death... but it is unreal. I loved it. It's not a silly comic book replica film like superman or spiderman. its absolute genius. class. 10 out of 5 more ...

Over-rated director + Over-rated actor = Over-rated film - Justin

There's little point in trying to be heard over inhuman fanboy squeals of delight, but ultimately The Dark Knight is a surprisingly dull film that relies on a sub-woofer physical assault rather than the deft editing and psychological gut-punch its themes demanded. more ...

Stunning - spikeprint

When movie studio's start acting like they give a toss about their audience, making blockbusters with decent plot, acting, etc., they should be rewarded. With massive cinema attendance. When they make the same dross they always make, we should vote with our feet. And the voting is in on Batman. Treat us with intelligence and we will repay you. There is no more ...

4 start that could of been a 5 . its still a must see - elexes

Here is a movie I've been waiting on for some time. Ever since they announced that the cast was going to still hold onto Christian bale as batman/Bruce Wayne I knew that I wasn't going to be let down. And to be honest the acting from Christian was good but not as spectacular as the previous movie batman begins. But was good enough to make me exit the movie more ...


The Dark Knight rating: 3 Star
Worth seeing - Janet

The hype about Heath Ledger in this film is well warranted and he will certainly be posthumously nominated for an Oscar but it's not his best role. It is Batman after all! There is a good performance from Christian Bale and Michael Kane also. This film is well worth seeing but it is Batman. more ...

FAAAAAAANTASTIC - nejjerooney

I don't think I've ever screamed with excitement in a cinema before but I did when watching this, the special effects were amazing & the Joker??

As a Batman fan since the day I could say Batman I was scepticle more ...

Masterpiece - Fabien Oman

Excitable film critics, days before its release, hailed The Dark Knight as the new great American film. Cue pompous laughter from artistic snobs everywhere. 'A truly brilliant film? Oh, come on, it's Batman!' Well, it's Christopher Nolan who's had the last laugh. Visionary writing, inspired directing and incredible performances are what this movie is made more ...

Darker than the bottom of a pint of Guinness - Keith R

Chris Nolan's abandonment of the camp stylings that had dogged the Batman films since Tim Burton's 1989 original saw the caped crusader's welcome return to top form in 2005's Batman Begins. The director's follow-up, I'm glad to say, has continued in the same vein, exploring an ever-more menacing dimension to Bruce Wayne's bombastic moonlighting. Each more ...

It was the way it was meant to be - maxster1976

Christopher Nolans Batman takes the viewer on a roller coaster ride through the darkness that is Batman and Jokers feud. This review isn't going to delve into how spectacular Heath ledgers performance was, because it was. The writers, director and Heath should all get Oscars as it didn't fail one expectation through out. It will leave you breathless, it more ...

Batman Returns (in style): - cantonaisking77

Having scrolled to the bottom of the Dark Knight reviews page, past more 5stars and "amazing" reviews than one man can handle, I cast my mind back to the moment I left the cinema & tried to remember what I actually thought. As far as I can remember I thought it was "Amazing" too. However I was as impressed by Christian Bale/Morgan more ...

excellent - mbucklee - mbucklee

Overall an excellent movie, barely allows you up for air, clung to my seat with excitement. It makes the old batman movies look like a poor mans version in comparison.

Gary Oldman is again always impressive and very interesting to watch as a morally upright character when usually he often plays a more ...

The Darkest Yet! - njohnston

Had expected great things from this movie, certainly not disappointed. Ledger was outstanding. Such a shame he can't be here to enjoy the success of this classic. The same story with the same villian, but it never fails to capture our attention. Has the movie been cursed, I doubt it, but it would take over your head working for so long on such a gripping more ...

New Improved Sequel but not perfect - pandabat

The Joker comes to Gotham and Batman must fight against the villian's anarchical, chaotic approach to crime and life which itself rubs off the city, on the hero's alter ego's life and the people around him. No more need to go any deeper into the plot of this dark but entertaining offering. Acting is pretty good all around with only Christian Bale's voice's more ...

Give us a break! - The Penguin

Yes, the acting, direction, special effects, etc., are brilliant but The Dark Knight is so dark and depressing that I had to go see Mama Mia! afterwards as an antidote. Don't get me wrong. I have been a fan of the Batman comics for years. I hated the Joel Schumacher versions for trying to camp up the franchise, but without adding any of the charm of the more ...


The Dark Knight rating: 4 Star
Brilliant - Wayne

This was by far, the movie of the year. Heath Ledgers flawless Joker act was amazing and really worked well to the image. Although, there is a certain lack of action during the movie I must say and gets a tad boring at times but overall, the acting and the plot combine to make an excellent movie, well worth seeing more ...


The Dark Knight rating: 5 Star
Unbelievable - edel mccrudden2

Heath Ledger occupied the role of the Joker in such a way that will make an future actor/director think twice about trying to emulate him. It's was just outstanding and while I'm a massive fan of Jack Nicholson the Joker portrayed by Ledger was darker, scarier and more sinister than anything I could have imagined. Bale is hot as usual but in this film he is more ...

Batman and JOker - nicenic

I loved that movie, it is soo intense and especially bith roles batman and Joker are soo played well I just watched it 3 times already. I think it breaks with the settings of gotham city to be transformed into a real city. Also i remeber 2 face being created differently but in the end its a good movie wih good special effects more ...

Darker and darker down the rabbit-hole we go - rosiemac

I can't say I hadn't been looking forward to it. Released while I was abroad, The Dark Knight brought rave reviews, endless speculation - did Heath overdose because playing the Joker troubled his mind, prevented him sleeping, haunted him far beyond the pages of his script? We'll never know, and, sadly, watching the film won't bring us any closer. Although, more ...

Boring and too llong - Folo

The film starts off well, and the first hour and and half is engaging and enjoyable. But after that the plot gets more and more ridiculous, and over sentimental dialogue takes up far too much time. Throughout the film, no matter what happens to the joker, good or bad, its always spun that he had planned it that way. If Batman popped up in a miniskirt and more ...

Batman with Brains - Fee

I've just returned from the cinema having seen The Dark Knight. What a gripping film!.

It is thematically dark, dense and intelligently thought provoking, whilst still being thrilling and full of plot more ...

Not your average bat - Sab

Being the most hyped up film of the summer, The Dark Knight had a lot to live up to.

The verdict so far? The caped crusader has gone more ...

The Nolan brothers deserve massive credit for making a blockbuster which doesnt conform to ANY of the trends which are usually found in a superhero movie.

'The Joker Movie' would have been a better title for this movie as he is the dominant character here.

Make no mistake, this is the best Batman movie, possibly the best hollywood superhero movie made in recent times.

brilliant but flawed - batfan

first of all i will get the flaws out of the way- the film is twenty minutes too long, they needed a better actor than Aaron Echart to play Harvey (think he was cast cause of his good lucks) and it has to be said that Maggie Gyllenhall and Morgan Freeman aren't given enough screentime, also Bales Batmans voice is awful, he sounds like Dirty Harry at one more ...

The Dark Knight is an unusual film in that it's the first time I would've rated a film higher if it had ended an hour earlier.

I first got my first taste of this movie at Christmas when I went to see I am Legend at an Imax Cinema. Instead of the normal 4 or 5 trailers they showed the complete opening sequence Bank Heist of the Dark Knight. Showcasing the fact that the movie's maker opted to shoot the main action sequences with Imax Cameras. Well I was blown away there and it pretty more ...

Slaughter is the best medicine - norm

What a show! Completely lives up to the hype, which is unusual for a blockbuster. I think all Batman fans should be thanking the Nolan brothers profusely for taking Batman from the gutter of the mid 90s and bringing the viewers a film worthy of the comics of old.

Great in parts - critical mass

Ledger Is really good. Strangely some of his 'Jokerisms' reminded me of 'Beetlejuice'. Sorry! But it's true. Overall liked the movie. Christian Bale is superb as Batman. It's a pity some of the movie lets down the 'darkness of both characters. The Bat bike was very unconvincing. I lurve superhero movies but was a tad disappointed. Perhaps the hype over did more ...
